it would depend on the aircraft, if it had a steerable nosewheel then yes, otherwise i would imagine its very difficult. The p-38 had a free castoring nose wheel so one engine taxiing would be tricky but you could do a turn using diff braking I bet. likewise with tail draggers it depends if the tail wheel locks, IRL for example the mosquito does not have a locking tailwheel (unlike il2). so you have to stand on the brakes and run up some boost before takeoff to get some steering authority.
